Looking for Qin Ji colleagues

Knowing that Xiang Shaolong didn't have any special thoughts for her, Fang Xia was very disappointed. Although he was not in love, he still felt a sense of broken love.

The next day Fang Xia gave himself a vacation, allowed himself to sleep in for a long time, and refused to get up no matter how Xiang Shaolong called.Xiang Shaolong also had to receive his apprentice Zhao Pan who came to class on the first day, so he had to leave sullenly.

Fang Xia didn't get up until it was time for the morning meal. The emotional frustration made her decide to turn her grief and anger into motivation, find a sense of existence in "academics", and try her best to read and read.

Fang Xia has been studying for nearly two months before, although the length of each day varies, but it has not been interrupted at all, so Fang Xia has almost recognized the daily Zhao Guozi, and now it is time to learn Qin Guozi schedule.

Wu Tingfang knew some of Qin Guozi, but she didn't have the time to teach Fang Xia.In order not to fall behind Zhao Pan, Wu Tingfang decided to train and study with Xiang Shaolong, but he was not called Master.Fang Xia felt that it was good for Wu Tingfang to have her own plan, and was very supportive of her. Then she silently took the book Wu Tingfang found for her, and went back to her room to study by herself.

Fang Xia’s own process of recognizing characters is to hold a roll of bamboo slips from the state of Zhao in one hand and a roll of bamboo slips from the state of Qin in the other hand. The contents of the two bamboo slips are the same, but the characters are different. .No one taught it, this was the best way Fang Xia thought of, and during the process of recognition, he also reviewed Zhao Guo's characters.It's just that the speed is very slow, because she doesn't know Zhao Guozi well enough.

But if the speed is slow, it will be slow. Fang Xia has a lot of time now, and he spends it on studying a homework from morning to night. Besides, there are no entertainment activities to distract him, so there will always be results.After a few days, she has learned a total of hundreds of commonly used characters, which is quite a sense of accomplishment.

Xiang Shaolong has also been very busy these days, after all he has just had an apprentice, so he is very enthusiastic.Now his training of apprentices is according to the plan. On the first day Zhao Pan came to Wujiabao, and on the second day he took Daniel to Mrs. Ya's Mansion, usually Wu Tingfang would follow.Now Wu Tingfang and Xiang Shaolong are masters and apprentices without the name of masters and apprentices, but Xiang Shaolong doesn't mind, he doesn't want to have more female apprentices.

Fang Xia and Xiang Shaolong, one studying by themselves and the other teaching others, are busy with their own business, and sometimes they don't see each other for a day - when Xiang Shaolong and the others came back from Mrs. Ya's mansion, Fang Xia might have closed the door to sleep.

Fang Xia thinks this is not bad, it can calm her down and dilute some of her good feelings towards Xiang Shaolong.Learning is also for this purpose, to divert attention.She didn't regret trying to test Xiang Shaolong's mind, after all, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, if she had known that there was no hope, she wouldn't be stuck in the mud at the end.

Just so busy, one day a week later, Shanrou came to Wujiapu.

This was Shanrou's first return to Wujiabao since she left last time, and she sent someone to deliver the news that the assassin who wanted to kill Xiang Shaolong was hired by Lian Jin.Xiang Shaolong already knew the answer at that time, it was Zhao Mu who said it, but Shan Rou's news once again proved that this matter was undeniable.

Shanrou probably didn't come from the main entrance, no one took her, she came to the place where Fang Xia and Xiang Shaolong lived by herself.After knocking on the door lightly, she walked into the room, first nodded to Fang Xia who was sitting by the window reading a book, and then looked around.

Shan Rou didn't speak, Fang Xia stood up knowingly: "Xiang Shaolong is not here today."

Shan Rou showed no expression: "I'm here to see Shan Wang."

"He's next door, I'll take you there." Fang Xia smiled at Shanrou, and put the bamboo slips in his hands away.

Shanrou looked at the bamboo slips in Fang Xia's hand, smiled slightly, and nodded: "Okay."

When Fang Xia took Shan Rou to Shan Wang's side, he had just returned to the room after taking a walk in the yard.When Shan Rou left last time, Shan Wang was still in a coma. Fang Xia thought that the two of them must exchange various news now, so she planned to avoid it. Unexpectedly, before she had time to speak, the two of them would not avoid it. She's talking.

In fact, what they said was not very confidential, and it was very brief, without even the necessary explanation, Fang Xia was at a loss when he heard it.

Shan Rou told Shan Wang that the organization would no longer hunt him down, but he was no longer a member of the organization.After Shan Wang finished listening, he said, "Thank you." He didn't ask any other questions.Afterwards, Shan Rou asked about Shan Wang's injury, and Shan Wang answered briefly, and Shan Rou said that Shan Wang should rest in Wujiapu to recuperate first, and the meeting between the two ended like this.

Shan Rou said goodbye to Shan Wang, and nodded to Fang Xia.

Fang Xia was also a little shocked by the straightforwardness and decisiveness of the two of them, just like the saying "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water", it is clearly a fateful friendship, but the relationship between the two is simpler than plain water.

Following Shan Rou and leaving Shan Wang's place, Fang Xia still couldn't react. She didn't come back to herself until Shan Rou stopped in her tracks and turned to talk to her when she arrived in the yard.Shan Rou calmly said: "Shan Wang will probably stay in Wujiabao for a while, Shan Rou would like to thank Miss Fang for taking care of Shan Wang, and she will definitely repay her in the future."

Fang Xia was not used to Shanrou's politeness, and said with some embarrassment: "Miss Shanrou, you don't have to be so polite, you saved my life and Xiang Shaolong's life, not to mention, you are Xiang Shaolong's friend, such words Say no more."

Shanrou did not insist, and slightly bent the corner of her mouth: "Call me Shanrou."

"Then you can call me Fang Xia too!" He Shanrou got closer.

"When Shan Wang recovers from his injuries, I'm afraid he will leave. Then you and Xiang Shaolong will just let him go."

"Leave?" Fang Xia hadn't thought of this step yet, "Although your organization doesn't hunt him down anymore, but he, he..." Fang Xia originally wanted to say that Shan Wang is no longer an assassin, what can he do if he leaves, but he wants to She wants to be forgetful but unlike her, she has good martial arts, can protect herself and earn a living, so she doesn't need to care about it at all.

Seeing that Fang Xia hesitated to speak, Shanrou asked in puzzlement, "How is he?"

Fang Xia quickly returned to his senses and replied: "I originally wanted to ask Shan Wang what he would do after he left, but thinking about his high martial arts skills, he must not worry about not being able to survive."

Shanrou nodded clearly after listening.

Fang Xia remembered what she had been wanting to ask Shanrou for a long time, and took the opportunity to say: "I really envy your martial arts skills. If I can do the same, I can survive alone. By the way, Shanrou, I have something to ask you .”

"What's the matter?" Shanrou looked at Fang Xia, not feeling that she was presumptuous, but rather curious.

Shan Rou is a straightforward person, and her attitude made Fang Xia feel very comfortable: "It's like this, I don't know any martial arts, and it's dangerous to survive in this troubled world, so I really want to learn martial arts, but I don't know if there is still time. .Shanrou, in your opinion, can I learn martial arts? If so, can you teach me?"

"You want to learn martial arts?" Shanrou looked a little surprised.

"Yes." Fang Xia nodded, "If you are as strong in martial arts as you are, I don't need Xiang Shaolong's protection."

After Shanrou listened, she looked at Fang Xia suspiciously: "If you want to learn martial arts, why don't you ask Xiang Shaolong for advice, why did you come to ask me?"

Fang Xia blinked: "Because we are all women, I think your kung fu is more suitable for girls to practice?"

"There is no distinction between men and women in martial arts." Shanrou said solemnly, "My martial arts has been cultivated since childhood, and it is not inferior to men's, nor is it specially designed for women."

"So that's how it is." Fang Xia was a little disappointed, "Then do you think if I start learning martial arts now, will there still be time?"

Shan Rou was not dissatisfied with Fang Xia's misunderstanding, and her face softened: "Actually, it is more difficult for women to learn martial arts than men, and there are many requirements. In your situation, you don't have any foundation, so I am afraid it will be very difficult. .”

"Is it really not possible?" Fang Xia was completely disappointed now.

Seeing this, Shan Rou seemed to be impatient, and her tone was much gentler: "If you are willing to endure hardships and practice daily, at least five years, at most ten years, there should still be results."

"Five years?" Fang Xia sighed, "Forget it then." For five years, I spent every day practicing martial arts, and I don't know if I can practice enough to protect myself. Fang Xia really can't accept that kind of life.

"Why do you want to learn martial arts?" Shanrou was very puzzled by this point.

Fang Xia looked at the sword in Shanrou's hand: "I want to be like you, to survive in troubled times just by myself, and to do what I want to do. I really admire you, you are a respectable girl. "

Shanrou was stunned for a moment after listening, and after a while, she smiled at Fang Xia: "I have no other choice." Although Shanrou still didn't answer much, her smile was closer than ever before.

The longer Fang Xia talked with Shan Rou, the more he slowly opened up the topic, and the scruples in his words became less: "Shan Rou, if there is no martial arts, can a woman really not be able to survive in troubled times? If there is no Xiang Shaolong, I am Isn't it certain that you can't survive?"

"You want to leave Xiang Shaolong?" Shan Rou was surprised, "Why?"

"We will separate sooner or later." Fang Xia was a little sad, "He wants to go back to his hometown to find his beloved girl, and I can't follow him forever."

In this way, Shanrou is clear.As for Fang Xia's question, she thought for a while before answering: "If you don't have martial arts, you may not be able to survive."

"Oh?" Fang Xia's eyes lit up, "Then, can you tell me what to do?"

Fang Xia unconsciously grabbed Shanrou's hand and looked at her hopefully.Shanrou didn't dodge, but because she thought of the orphans she took in with pure joy, they looked at her with such trusting and expectant eyes.Thinking of this, Shanrou's eyes softened a lot, and her smile became more gentle: "In this troubled world, there are many people who are not very skilled in martial arts, but live a very good life. There are actually many ways to survive."

This Fang Xia also understands that Mrs. Ya is living a good life, but unfortunately the price she pays is not what Fang Xia is willing to pay. "I don't want to be dependent on others. I hope that everything about me can be decided by myself. Is there such a way?"

"Then let others depend on you." Shanrou smiled, "Whether it's power, money, talent, or beauty, as long as you have one, you can find followers. For you, it's nothing more than worrying about safety. With the protection of subordinates with high martial arts skills, you don't need to worry about it anymore."

Fang Xia's eyes lit up after listening to Perfectrou's words: "You mean looking for bodyguards? Yes, why didn't I think of that! But—— Shanrou, if I find a subordinate with high martial arts skills, Is it safe? I don't know any martial arts at all, if that subordinate is not loyal enough, will it..."

"Being an assassin has the morals of an assassin, and being a doorman also has the rules of a doorman. Since I am your doorman, I will be loyal to you, but there have always been greedy people in the world. It depends on your own choice. No matter what your identity is, you are both There are good people and there are bad people."

"I see." There are some policemen who become criminals, and there is nothing absolutely safe in modern times. You can't never go out to work because you are worried that your boss will sexually harass you. This is the same reason.Fang Xia immediately figured it out, since it is impossible for her to practice martial arts, it is better to find a bodyguard, so that Xiang Shaolong will not be dragged down; when Xiang Shaolong marries a wife in the future, she can also take the bodyguard and retire.

After making a decision, Fang Xia continued to ask Shan Rou for advice, and then learned that it is not too expensive to hire a bodyguard whose force value is almost the same as Shan Rou's for life, ranging from 500 to [-] taels of gold per year, depending on the generosity of the owner.Moreover, the salary does not need to be paid monthly, and it can be paid whenever you want, starting once, and you don’t have to worry about your daily necessities.

Fang Xia suddenly felt that hiring a bodyguard was a really good idea. If she hadn't been able to afford so much gold at the moment, she really wanted to ask Shanrou to help introduce a reliable candidate. If she wanted to be an assassin, she would definitely There are various sources.

On the other hand, Shan Rou saw that after Fang Xia had asked all kinds of questions, she fell silent and couldn't help asking: "How, have you decided to invite swordsmen to be your disciples?"

"Of course!" Fang Xia replied resolutely, "It's just that I don't have so much gold now, and I have to wait until I have money. By the way, can the talent and beauty you mentioned attract customers? Do you need to pay? "

"If you have amazing talent, you may have a large number of followers and disciples who are willing to follow you without asking for any money."

"Oh." Obviously, Fang Xia could not become a saint like Confucius and Mencius, so forget it.It's just that where to get the money to hire swordsmen is still a very serious problem.After much deliberation, Fang Xia found that the only way left was to sell things, but should he hide it from Xiang Shaolong?

Fang Xia couldn't make up her mind, and felt that it wasn't time to think about it, so she took Shan Rou and invited her to go back to the room with her to see if her "babies" could be sold for a good price.

Many useless things that Fang Xia brought before, together with her handbag and suitcase, were locked in a wooden box and placed in a special storage room, just in case spies found out and caused unnecessary problems.The only thing left in Fang Xia's room now is some cosmetics carefully hidden in the compartment of the box.In fact, Fang Xia usually doesn't wear makeup for a long time, and now she keeps it because she has been looking for opportunities to sell some money.

Pulling Shanrou to sit on the bed, Fang Xia took the clothes out of the box and put them aside, then went to find her bottle of perfume that had been used up.After finding it, Fang Xia removed the nozzle, leaving only the light pink transparent spherical bottle, screwed on the flower-shaped cap, and showed it to Shanrou.

Walking back to the bed, Fang Xia realized that Shanrou was holding a piece of cloth in a daze.

"Shanrou?" Fang Xia called softly.

Shanrou suddenly regained consciousness, and then pointed to the cloth in her hand: "Is this portrait brought by Xiang Shaolong from your hometown?"

Fang Xia stretched out her head to look, and it turned out that it was the portrait of Xiang Shaolong that she had drawn before, which had been kept together with her clothes, and she quickly smiled: "No, I drew this for fun."

"Did you draw it?" Shanrou's eyes widened.
